Colombian revolutionary Simón Trinidad has lived 75 years on this earth and his last 21 have been spent as a prisoner of the U.S. Empire. Once a valuable thinker and peace negotiator for the FARC-EP, four sham trials based on bogus charges saw a U.S. federal court eventually sentence Trinidad to 60 years in the Federal Supermax prison in Florence, CO. The terms of his imprisonment included the psychologically challenging isolation of Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) and the restrictive access to legal support.
Mark Burton, Simón's lawyer, joins us today to discuss Simón's contributions to the struggle for a socialist Columbia, the injustice he's facing as a political prisoner of the US, and the continued fight to free Simón and for a liberated Columbia.
